I want to but a Canon 1100D, but I have no idea between these kits:

Canon 1100D IS Canon 1100D IS II

The site is in Germany, so I couldn't understand very well, but when I tried to translate, I didn't see any difference.

Here is the IS:

And here is the IS II:

Thanks

EDIT

I'm sorry, the links was not working, but now they are.

    \$\begingroup\$ The links still don't work. I think they're session-specific. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I can't find it (it's almost 2 years old, i guess they probably don't sell the old kit anymore), but the only difference was the lens: 18-55mm IS X 18-55mm IS II. \$\endgroup\$

The second one gets you the newer version of the kit lens. Both have the same zoom range, aperture, min focus distance, filter size, etc.

The new version (II) has a improved version of the stabilizer and automatically recognizes motion in the panning direction.

The IS II version has cosmetic changes in order to reduce costs such as a painted, not plastic moulded, lens mount alignment mark. There are no changes to the optical formula or Image Stabilizer. See Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D Hands-on Preview at DPreview.
